Date and place of birth
An IP editor has changed the date and place of birth to "Llandecwyn, near Harlech in Gwynedd in 1541 (or possibly in Llanrwst, Denbighshire in 1544)". It is good to add sourced facts, but I don't think this is accurate.

The ODNB says 1542/3 and "Long thought to have been a native of Merioneth, he is now known to have hailed from Llanrwst, Denbighshire". The Dictionary of Welsh Biography says "Born in 1544 but there is no certainty as to the place of his birth although it was possibly Y Gydros, in the parish of Llanfor, Mer." The modern memorial in St John's College Chapel Cambridge has 1541.

I think the best source is the ODNB, which is up-to-date, has a solid reputation and is confident of the place of birth. I will change the article accordingly. Verbcatcher (talk) 22:31, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
